No, weblogs are personal sites, they are online diaries. They are places where people write about their lives and things about them they think other people want to read.
Anandtech and Tom's Hardware would be weblogs under your excessively wide definition. Hell, all the major news and newspaper sites would be weblogs under your definition. Fileplanet would be a weblog under your definition.
I say it's a poor definition, overly broad and vague. Try again.
Slashdot is not a weblog. It is a forum. It is not some "Real World" WebTV, aka, weblogs, where you just sit and consume some emo's angst and marvel at his or her lack of taste in music.
It is a community where a large number of people have discussions (and flame each other) about various news topics.
What evidence do you have that he wont? Other than your personal opinion? Because it will take more than a law to do it. Amending the Constitution is a big deal and takes what is essentially a supermajority of the entire country.
So many people seem to think that Bush has the power to just roll up and push through anything he wants. Yeah, that Social Security thing is coming along nicely. No opposition to it whatsoever.
Still pretty much nowhere near that. If the motion to have drivers licenses issued by the US government is put forth, then your statement will approach legitimacy. As it is, arequirement of minimum standards for Thing X is not itself a consolidation of power by the federal government.
And I seriously doubt you actually heard either one of those concepts stated in a serious fashion, much less from everyone around you - both of those activities have been going on since the inception of the US government. They are certainly not new situations only imposed in the past 5 years.
Perhaps you meant to express them as ideals that we have never attained but should strive toward, rather than actual states that we are currently sliding away from.
I've been having to keep from hitting things every time I see and hear that 'My' crap.
It's just unnatural and fucking stupid. "Go to your My Documents folder", "Open your My Computer", and if you drop the 'your', they think you're talking about your own computer.. "Open My Computer".. "I can't get to it, where are you?"
Yeah, but they were teaching calculus to three-year-olds, they might be able to give a crash course on naval command. No substitute for the real thing, but a time-limited thing, maybe.
For me, at least, the wristpad lets me keep my hand and arm level and even with each other. Keeps me from angling my arm or slouching and stretching tendons (etc.) more than they should be.
Slashdot Mirror
I do wonder how they explained away the huge smoke cloud visible across large swathes of England at the moment though.
Probably sidestepped the entire issue by filtering out that little bit of news entirely.
The Ahndiromeda Strain!
Dorm-based musical retaliation? One word.
Bagpipes.
Settle down, Beavis.
Dear nizo,
What ad?
Your Pal,
Firefox+AdBlock
Yeah, like "notlob".
There were two versions, one for each film. Which one did you want?
SIG RUSH!! kekekekekekekekekeke
Google for Google. Google that Googles.
It's a garage, ffs. Ooo, they keep the uberlasertrucks there, ooo! Go steal a piece of it and put it in a reliquary, then, ya freak.

A weblog is one-way 'entertainment'.
Meh
I dunno, but this will probably make his head explode.
Especially not in yet another SlashverGoogletisement article!

GAH
One definition of cede is indeed to relinquish specific ownership. However, there is another, and both have equal weight:
To yield; grant: The debater refused to cede the point to her opponent.
Linux: Can I learn these technical improvements?
IBM: Not from a... developer.
Two words.
Built-in vibrator.
I mean, who *wouldn't* want an iHump?
This pretty much says it all:
